At CHEO, we want to make it easier for all teachers, education workers and childcare workers to get their COVID-19 booster before heading back to the classroom. We know the importance of this added layer of protection – and want to help. CHEO is providing priority COVID-19 boosters (as well as first and second doses) to teachers, education workers and childcare workers at upcoming priority vaccination clinics.
Eligibility
Teachers, education workers and childcare workers (this includes, but is not limited to principals, teachers, assistants, cleaners, office staff, early childhood educators, daycare providers, in-home and school direct service providers, bus drivers, etc.) working or resident in the Ottawa, Renfrew, Eastern Ontario or Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Units. You must pre-register to book your appointment.
Pre-Registration
As clinics become available within the next couple of days you will then be emailed an Eventbrite link to book your vaccination timeslot ticket.
After pre-registering at the link above, you will be sent an Eventbrite link to book your appointment. You may receive multiple emails as clinics become available. Please only book one ticket. You will receive a confirmation email once your appointment is booked. You do not need to print your ticket.
When
- First clinic is on Friday, January 7, 2022 from 3–7 pm.
Please pre-register today! More clinics and timeslots are being added soon.
Where
CHEO main campus – 401 Smyth Road, Ottawa. Please enter through the Max Keeping Wing entrance, which is to the left of the main entrance and away from clinical spaces.
Please do not use the patient/family main entrance – the vaccine clinic will be held in an administrative section of the building with lots of space for physical distancing.
